David Ortiz is back in the Red Sox lineup as they take on the Royals at Fenway Park. Ortiz has been out since mid-July with an Achilles strain, a span of 35 games. The Sox were 13-22 in his absence and fell out of contention for the playoffs.
With Ortiz back, Adrian Gonalzez moves down to the fifth spot against Royal left-hander Bruce Chen. Here's the rest of the lineup:
Ciriaco 3B
Ellsbury CF
Pedroia 2B
Ortiz DH
Gonzalez 1B
Ross RF
Lavarnway C
Aviles SS
Podsednik LF
